''I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANYMORE! THE STRESS IS KILLING ME.ABEL PLEASE DO NOT BOTHER ME MIJO!'' Those are the last words i heard my mother say. I was only 11 when my mom committed suicide. She was so stressed from everything going on and all the bills piled up one by one and so much debt that she took her own life. She didn't leave a note or anything. I walked into her room because i made her dinner and i walked in and saw she to her hanging from the ceiling. I know this escalated pretty quickly so let me tell you how my life is or was before this event. My so called ''father'' left me when my mom was pregnant. My mom was dating him for 3 years. She broke down the news to him and as soon as he found out he left the state and he was nowhere to be found. He can die for all i care. The fuck i need him in my life for? Yeah well growing up my mom was really strict on what i did or where i went. I was always home while she was at work. She worked 2 jobs to pay rent and all the bills. As i got older the bills seemed to pile up on her. I wanted to help her out so bad but i couldn't because a 12 year old wasn't going to find a job just anywhere. Fast forward 2 years. I was 13 going on to 14. February 13..was the day i lost my mom. My birthday is February 16. That day i came home from school. Same day as usual. My mom got fired from her job and we were behind 3 months of rent. We were going to get evicted in 4 days. She started yelling at me. Now to the part where i found her. I felt like i lost words and couldn't talk. I rushed and knocked on my neighbours door. She called 9-1-1. I was at the police station and they asked me so many questions. Finally they told me i was going to be put in foster care. I wanted to run away but i couldn't. They took me and the lady was showing me my bed once i arrived. All the kids looked at me weird and i waited until the nights went out so i can cry under my sheets. Call me a pussy i don't give a fuck. I lost my train of thought. They never told me if my mom was going to have a funeral or not so i never got to say my last goodbyes. I miss my mom. I miss her yelling at me ''ABEL...'' words i can no longer listen to.
